I especially like photo-documenting cemeteries and working with the pictures. There are a few pro and amateur genealogists I work with here on FindAGrave volunteering and setting up memorials. I also enjoy doing light research on my memorials as time permits so others are able to build on this knowledge and hopefully find answers to the holes in their lineages.

I live on the North Shore of Massachusetts in Essex County. I have published 6 books and 1 pamphlet on area graveyards and was awarded the Massachusetts State Historic Preservation Award [2013] by the Daughters of the American Revolution [DAR]. I have several old graveyard tours that I perform in my area and I do lecturing in my area on a variety of historical subjects at Historical Societies.

Cemeteries I have photographed all extant headstones in entirety or finished off remainder, all photos (excluding post-event burials). Of course some may have been overlooked along the way:

South Burying Grounds (Tewksbury).Fletcher Cemetery (Tyngsborough).Swallow Cemetery (Dunstable).Old North Cemetery (Billerica).Laurel Hill Cemetery (Reading) – almost done – huge project took 6 yrs so far. Working with the Dodges on this - all photographed – we are working on memorials still.

I only transfer memorials within FindAGrave guidelines. I cannot transfer anything to you if you do not provide me with your member number. If I don't respond to your request for a transfer that means I would prefer to keep the memorial.

Do not post my photos to other FindAGrave memorials. Just let me know and I will upload them to each additional memorial. You may contact me for this purpose by clicking the EDIT tab at the top right hand corner of each memorial page. You may use my photos on trees on Ancestry if you'd like with credit given to photos as stated above.
